The Miegunyah Creative Fellowships are an initiative of the Potter Museum of Art, supported by the Russell and Mab Grimwade Miegunyah Fund. These Fellowships provide the opportunity for creative practitioners to explore the Grimwade Collection and respond to themes, issues and works of art through their chosen means of expression. 

The Russell and Mab Grimwade Miegunyah Fund comprises funds bequeathed by Sir Russell (1879–1955) and Lady Grimwade (1887–1973) to the University of Melbourne, together with proceeds from the sale of their Toorak house Miegunyah. The Fund supports activities across the University that complement the Grimwades’ deep personal interests in biochemistry, botany, history and art.
